Wailord (Japanese: ホエルオー Whaloh) is a Water-type Pokémon.
At 47 feet, 7 inches, (14.5 meters) Wailord is the largest Pokémon known to man.
Biology
Physiology
Wailord are cetacean Pokémon that are well known as the largest Pokémon discovered so far. It has small beady eyes and a huge mouth and a throat that is lined with grooves. It has two pairs of fins along its side and a horizontal tail at the back. It's vaguely shaped like a torpedo or a blimp.
Despite its enormous size, it is able to breed with many land-based Pokémon that are much smaller. This is due to it being in the Ground Egg Group, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.

In the anime
Wailord first appeared in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a Pokémon Center. Team Rocket tried to haul it away, but a Combusken foiled their plans.
A Wailmer that befriended a man named Robin evolved into a Wailord in Island Time. This Wailord transported Ash and friends across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.
Along with their pre-evolved form, Wailord appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.
In the manga
At sea, Sapphire from the Hoenn series travels on a Wailord named Wailulu.
